So for at least 5 months I've procrastinated on reading Wings of Fire: Darkstalker , and I am so sorry that I waited so long. It is now one of my FAVORITE books as of 2:05pm, I love it so much
1st- It is BEAUTIFULLY written, the story flows so well despite the time skips and character POVs
2nd-Clearsight's thought process was described really well, it showed just how torn and indecisive she feels, and how she desperately tries to organize her thoughts and the lives of those around her because she feels that since she sees the possible futures of others, Clearsight holds herself responsible for every consequence and reaction
3rd-Darkstalker's transformation from the charming adolescent prodigy to a murderous sociopath was flawless, the hints were so subtle and the lack of an obvious shift felt very realistic.
4th-The character relationships were beautiful, and I adored the connection between Indigo and Fathom. The relationship between Clearsight and Darkstalker was fascinating as well. They had a connection even before they met, and when they saw each other face to face it wasn't like cliché sparks flying, because they already had a strong connection. They loved each other until the very end. Darkstalker deeply cared for his friends, however his need for power twisted these feelings until he put his desire to better Clearsight and Fathom's lives over their desires. What's interesting is how he never felt the desire to alter Whiteout. I think it's because Whiteout feels a strong loyalty and dependency towards her brother, as he acted as her fierce protector throughout their lives. Her loyalty didn't waver when he brutally killed Arctic, and I think he is aware of how she feels and doesn't think she would leave him. I also liked the interesting personality of Whiteout, I was constantly engaged in trying to figure her out.
Well anyways it was an amazing book, and is definitely now in my all time favorites.
